WORKING GROUP ON FAMILY REUNIFICATION

Since the Main Committee could not agree on the language on family
reunification in paragraph 10.12 on Wednesday, Amb. Biegman
announced the establishment of a working group to try to reach
consensus. The group is chaired by Egypt and its members include:
Algeria (G-77), the EU, Turkey, Argentina, Canada, Australia and
the US. The group managed to meet for about half an hour on
Thursday as it migrated from room to room. Consensus appears
possible and Egypt is expected to distribute compromise text on
Friday.
